Changing magazines is countered by reloading bolt guns via stripper clips.... All-in-all, I imagine you guys were louder. I suspect you would have scared the panties off the Jerries....

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Sounds worse than the original "mad minute" as practiced by the British, who were handicapped by bolt actions. Yeah, firing a semi-auto rifle would increase the tempo, but having to change magazines every 8 rounds slowed things down a bit. (And the "pings" from the ejected magazines just added to the noise. Shooting tracers also meant cleaning the rifle barrel well, as those rounds would leave some additional residue. And those M1 barrels were not chrome lined. Harvey |
